System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the end-to-end creation and hierarchical linking of Azure DevOps work items (Epics, Features, User Stories) from structured markdown documentation, eliminating manual entry and ensuring consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated parsing: Read epic/feature/sprint markdown files to extract IDs, names, statuses, priorities, and tasks.
  • UCP integration: Compute Objective UCP via the ucp-calculator skill and inject it into work items.
  • Hierarchical linking: Automatically link Epics -> Features -> User Stories to preserve traceability.
  • Batch creation: Generate MCP-ready payloads for single or batched work item creation with proper field mappings.

Quick Start

  1. Write a markdown epic/feature/sprint file following the templates.
  2. Run the workflow to parse the markdown and calculate UCP, then format for Azure DevOps MCP.
  3. Execute the MCP tool calls to create items and establish parent links.
